I apologize for the lack of clear information in the thread title. I'm not quite sure what exactly it is that we should be doing, or what it would fall under.
I have a 17 year old nephew wanting to leave his mother who lives in Georgia. He wants to move to Ohio where most of his paternal family lives. My brother and his ex wife were divorced in North Carolina.
What would the jurisdiction be? Georgia? Ohio? We've looked in to affidavits of preference, emancipation, but nothing seems like it would work. Ohio doesn't recognize AoPs, he's still in high school so he couldn't be completely financially independent, so emancipation doesn't appear to be an option.
My understanding is that he lives in an unnecessarily restrictive and repressive environment. I know this isn't my judgment to make about his living conditions, but just an idea of the motivation in wanting to leave.
Were he to come to Ohio I would assume he'd live with his grandparents.
Do you guys have any advice or some idea of what legal routes that he or we could take?
